200x chain tensioner

[yamahaman89]

I was just recently riding my new 200x and realized the swing arm moved pretty easy. Then i looked saw that the drive chain tensioner broke in half does anyone know where i can get those? Also are there bushings in the swing arm because it wiggles back and forth pretty easily (hope that its due to the tensioner)

What tensioner? There is a roller and slider but no tensioner on the 200x that i know of. There is seals, needle bearings, collar and sleeve inside of the swingarm. You will need to take it all out and replace it to stop the play.

A few companies made aftermarket chain tensioners for the 1st gen 200x but you really didnt need one unless you have an extended swingarm . They bolt to the gear shift side foot peg . I have a couple if someone wants to see pics .

Sounds like you need new swingarm bearings and chain adjusters . Their all over ebay.

I am sure he is just referring to the roller/slider as a chain tensioner since that is essentially what it does...adjusts chain tension.....

You can find them @ service honda:

Pic on the way !!!!

Here are 2 different old skool tensioners for the 83-85 200x . These help keep your chain tight when you add that longer swinger:Bounce :Bounce .
